LIGHTER PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Lighter Peanut Butter Frosting image

Powdered peanut butter is the secret to this flavorful buttercream. Use it to frost Vanilla Cupcakes or any dessert you fancy, then garnish with chopped roasted peanuts.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes     Fillings & Frostings     Buttercream Frosting Recipes

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup powdered peanut butter
1/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 pound confectioners' sugar (about 3 3/4 cups)
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together powdered peanut butter, milk, and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until well combined. Add butter; beat on high until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, salt, and remaining 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar; starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high, beat until fluffy. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week. Return to room temperature and beat until smooth before using.

Tips:

  • To make the peanut butter frosting, use smooth peanut butter for a creamy texture. If you use chunky peanut butter, make sure to chop the peanuts finely so they don't overpower the frosting.
  • Use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the frosting. If you use salted butter, you may need to reduce the amount of salt added to the frosting.
  • If you want a stiffer frosting, chill it for a few minutes before using. This will make it easier to spread and pipe.
  • If you want a softer frosting, let it come to room temperature before using. This will make it easier to spread and mix with other ingredients.
  • To make a chocolate peanut butter frosting, add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the frosting. For a cookies and cream peanut butter frosting, add 1/2 cup of crushed Oreo cookies.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it creamy, chocolatey, or cookies and cream, there's a peanut butter frosting recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a frosting that will elevate your dessert, give peanut butter frosting a try.
